Himalayan leucogranites are abundant within a ~2000-km-long, E-W trending belt on the Tibetan Plateau. Recently, it has been shown that several and pegmatites (including aplites) of Himalayan leucogranitic closely related to rare-metal mineralization. The commonly peraluminous strongly peraluminous, classifying as highly-fractionated granites in terms whole-rock geochemistry chara...

Throughout our lives, we are constantly faced with a variety of causal reasoning problems. A challenge for cognitive modelers is developing a comprehensive framework for modeling causal reasoning across different types of tasks and levels of causal complexity. Causal graphical models (CGMs), based on Bayes’ calculus, have perhaps been the most successful at explaining and predicting judgments o...

Therapeutic advances in type 1 diabetes (T1DM) are currently focused on developing a closed-loop control system using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), subcutaneous insulin delivery, and a control algorithm. Because a CGM assesses blood glucose indirectly (and therefore often inaccurately), it limits the effectiveness of the controller. In order to improve the quality of CGM data, a series of...

Efforts to fight piracy have led to the conception of numerous methods that make difficult the duplication of copyrighted DVDs. The most promising of these methods will be discussed here. Complete copy protection regulation involves encrypting and safeguarding the physical data on the disc, as well as the analysis of communication between multiple independent devices (often via high-speed bus) ...

The Conjugate Gradient method (CGM) is known to be the fastest generic iterative method for solving linear systems with symmetric sign definite matrices. In this paper, we modify this method so that it could find fundamental solitary waves of nonlinear Hamiltonian equations. The main obstacle that such a modified CGM overcomes is that the operator of the equation linearized about a solitary wav...
